As F1 tourists, we were finding it a bit hard to find good cafes in manama, probably because we were looking for places which were walking distance from our hotel. This place had everything you need for a delicious calm and healthy breakfast. We went here everyday during our stay. Highly recommend their chicken sambosa and orange walnut cake.

The food and drinks were ok, but the service was great, friendly and kind staff. The place is also quiet, clean and nice, very relaxing after a walk in the gold market. To chill and continue shopping with a clean mind.

Visited this gorgeous spot located right in the middle of the Souq and I must say it is tastefully decorated and has a great menu and service. The colour themes of the interiors and the Bahraini art on display is a must see. Had a pleasant experience thanks to the friendly staff on duty Mr. Teepesh who offered great coffee and friendly conversation along with details of the restaurant. The coffee tasted great and i will definitely recommend a visit to this delightful cafe if you visit the Souq. Hope the management recognizes Mr. Teepesh for his service mindset. I also had the opportunity to meet Mr. Hassan who was also kind and assisted me after my meal. Definitely a well managed and classy place to have coffee or just a quick meal while shopping or touring the Souq.

This kind of café was really missing near the main souq in Manama! It’s a very nice place — spacious, atmospheric, but not over the top. The coffee is delicious; I’ve had better cakes, but they’re okay. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Unfortunately, there’s no restroom — a general issue in the souq. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Had a great time at this café! The staff were super friendly, and you have to try the cinnamon roll—so good! The lemon cinnamon iced tea is really refreshing, too. Definitely a spot to check out!
